There are several land based vans that will ship your dog. Just make sure they are a member of IPATA when you shop around for the best price.

There is also a pet network of truckers that will take pets across country, but they are usually for lost/found pets, or disaster rescue, such as floods. Since you are trying to save the dog, they might help you.

Handlers ship dogs all over the country by air and I have shipped internationally by air. There are always some horrendous experiences but it is like flying for humans, most travel with no hitches. It used to be a lot less expensive if you were flying and the dog went as excess baggage. So I have know people who booked a flight, arranged for the dog to go as excess and then canceled their own flight at the last minute but let the dog go at the lesser rate. I never tried it myself, but if you are worried about expense, I guess you could give it a try.
